After upgrading net-dialup/minicom to 2.8, it creates /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl but the installed program looks for it in /etc/minirc.dfl This seems to be related to the following econf option missing from the ebuild (it was present in minicom-2.7.1.ebuild): --sysconfdir="${EPREFIX}"/etc/${PN} So the ebuild is inconsistent in that it asks for minirc to be in the default sysconfdir (${prefix}/etc) but it installs it in /etc/minicom
I can confirm this regression. Additionally, the existing configuration files in /etc/minicom/ are no longer used.
As I just spend quite some time tracking this down... yes, still inconsistent
